We are in London!
Have you ever checked in with United airlines for an international flight? You have to use their little computer Kiosk. It asked to see our passports. Ann and I couldn't figure out how to get our passport in the little slot! Do we fold it open so it will fit... Do we leave it closed and maybe it will read through the cover.... When all else fails, ask for help! Right next to the tooo small slot we were trying to shove our passports in, is a little scanner that passports fit on perfectly!!!! DUH!!!! DIA was pretty uneventful after that! Our plane was a little delayed. No biggie! We were running pretty much on time until we got to Chicago, We had to wait about 20 minutes until the gate was clear. We were starting to get a little worried. It was 5:00 and our flight to London started boarding at 5:20. We finally got to the gate and the plane had "missed the mark" and was too far up for the walkway to connect to the plane! We had to wait another 15 minutes for them to push us back! By this time we were in a panic! Of course we were at the very back of the plane and it seemed to take forever to get off! We sprinted to the next gate and realized they had changed our seat numbers. When we boarded, they had upgraded us to "business " class!!! WOW!!!! It was awesome! Lot's of leg room, reclining seats, dinner menus, white tableclothes, REAL glass plates and cups! I felt like a princess!!! It didnt seem like 6 hours had gone by when we landed in London! Heathrow was pretty easy. Our shuttle picked us up at the airport. It was so weird when he opened up the door for us on the wrong side!!! The first turn he made scared me to death! I thought he was driving down the wrong side of the road! I have a lot of pictures, but didnt realize that my new laptop doesnt have the right size memory card slot! I forgot to bring my cord to connect directly to my camara! Hopefully I can find one tomorrow! This afternoon we took a double decker bus to Hyde park and went to the original Hard Rock Cafe. Ann got to hold Bon Jovi's guitar! Cant wait for you to see the picture of that!!! It's tooooo funny! Roman didnt sleep at all on the plane! We knew he was going to crash soon! He fell asleep at the table waiting for lunch! We dont know what we are going to do tonight for New Years Eve. I dont think we will venture out to far! We have heard that the transit systems will be on overload and we might not get back to the hotel! So we will probably hang out here! Thats Ok, though! We are leaving on a tour of Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor Castle tomorrow at 7:30 AM! Ann has been feeling great all day! A little tired this afternoon, but so am I!!!

Hi Guys,
Sounds like you are off and running. Ann, I had to call Bri right away and tell her about Bon Jovi's guitar!!! Don't get arrested trying to make the guards smile.. Enjoy yourselves, can't wait to see some pics. Love Mo
Glad to hear all is well so far! Can't wait to see and hear all about it! Luv ya all!
Ann,
I am so, so jealous about Jon's guitar! I guess you are in need of a reminder to keep your hands off of my boyfriend and his belongings! Just kidding, but seriously. Love you and hope you are having a blast and feeling good.

Hi Susie!
It has been such fun to follow your adventure through Europe and I'm so glad you were able to accompany Ann and Roman to capture their childish glee at every location! You will all have a wonderful experience but there will probably be an even greater glee when you hit American soil again! Nothing like a trip to another country to make you appreciate what's in your own backyard!! You have truly provided a wonderfully entertaining site for sharing the spectacular views and cherished memories...thanks for the window into the journey! Enjoy and wish Ann and Roman many smiles and cherished adventures from a stranger!
Love,
Layne
